"While this CIA operation was unfolding, the White House and DHS were telling American public there were no known plots on the US." Then again, if there was a plot, we're not sure we'd want to know either.

Why don't these dumbass terrorists ever try to hit a softer target than an airplane? If the CIA don't get you, the TSA, well, the TSA probably won't, but the passengers just aren't going to sit back and get flown into a building anymore. There's air marshals, armed pilots. All kinds of layers of security. Seems like you'd get much more bang for your buck blowing up a mall or a stadium, for instance. They let students into Bama games with flasks of whiskey all the time. How much harder could it be to get a bomb through?
